The IOC name for us has always been just "Great Britain", even pre-1922 when that included the whole of Ireland. For a while the BOA tried to brand the team as "Great Britain and Northern Ireland" - and got complaints from the Irish Olympic Association who see themselves as representing the whole of Ireland, not just the republic: the Irish team usually includes a number of NI sportsmen (e.g. at the last games there was a medal winning Irish boxer from Belfast who had previously won a commonwealth medal for NI)Guess some folks might prefer Team UK - but there are plenty of other "United Kingdoms" around the world so it doesn't necessarily mean anything to the rest of the world - and in any case it still wouldn't be precise - Mark Cavendish isn’t from the UK…None of which makes the kit any nicer

The Union Jack is one of the most outstanding (literal sense of the word), recognisable images in the world, one that worked properly can't be missed (and there has been some good kit in the past). With this lot on, they'll be invisible.

What he actually said was "Why would I care what athletes from fashion-obsessed sports or orienteers think"

I quite like it - but then I do like blue. I think an important aspect is whether you can pick it out quickly on the move - I mean god forbid you should accidentally cheer on a Frenchy the red flash at the neck should be easy to pick outwhat does concern me in this picture is why the guys on either end - both paralympians - seem to be wearing rather paler versions of the flag. also the gymnast looks totally incongruous in his royal blue trousers - why arn't they navy like the rest?
